The UK Shared Prosperity Fund’s primary goal is to build pride in place and increase life chances across the UK.For 2025/2026, the government has released a further £900 million of funding for local investment, with Winchester’s allocation amounting to £327,000. After deducting administrative costs we
have an available fund of £310,000 which can be used for capital or revenue spend.The three priority areas for investment remain the same: communities and place; supporting local business; and people and skills.   The fund retains the original core objectives and themes but in a simplified form. There are now five UK-wide themes and twelve sub-themes focused explicitly on delivering the government’s Key Missions.

The fund’s five themes are:

• Healthy, Safe and Inclusive Communities
• Thriving Places
• Support for Business
• Employability
• Skills

Applications for grant awards in the £25,000 to £50,000 range are particularly welcome but are open to requests for smaller or larger sums and encourage organisations to contact
prosperity@winchester.gov.uk for a preliminary discussion, regardless of the size of project.

Closing Date: Tuesday 27 May 2025, 9am
Applicants Notified: July 2025
All grant funding to be spent by: 28 February 2026
